Secure Notes and Attachments

LastPass Secure Notes allow you to store private information safely and securely. Think of it as a password-protected, digital notepad that you can access from anywhere, at anytime. Some examples of data that you might save in a Secure Note include bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, combinations to safes, etc.

Since all sensitive data is encrypted locally on your computer with the key that only you know before it is sent to LastPass, you can store your most sensitive data with the knowledge that is it is completely safe. Just like all of your LastPass data, your Secure Notes will be available from any location with your LastPass Vault.

Adding A Secure Note

To add a Secure Note, click on the LastPass Icon , click on the Secure Notes menu item and choose ‘Add Note’ at the bottom of the menu:

You can also add a Secure Note via your Vault by clicking on the ‘Add Secure Note’ button in the sidebar Secure Notes page with the + button on the bottom right:

After they are added, all of your Secure Notes will be shown in a list under the Secure Notes folder by default though you can move these notes from the ‘Secure Note’ and put them into whatever folder you like.

To add a Custom Secure Note Template, you will follow the same steps to adding a secure note as mentioned in the main tab. With the “Add Note” page open, navigate to the “Note Type” drop down menu and scroll down to the “+ Add Custom Template” option

In the “New Custom Template” page, add the ‘Name’ of the template you wish to create and add the fields you wish to add.

Once you are finished, save the new template.

To use the new template or review it, add a new secure note, and find the new template by the name you assigned it. Here you can see an example of a secure note template named “Test1” and the custom fields added to the template

Secure Note Formats

There are multiple types of Secure Notes available. These range from credit card formats, to database login credentials, and many others. You can select the Secure Note format you’d like to use when you create the Note:

Managing Your Secure Notes

You can also change your preferences to be prompted for your Master Password when viewing your Secure Notes. Your Secure Notes can be password-protected one of two ways:

By selecting “Reprompt for Password” on an individual Secure Note in the Edit dialog box by clicking on the edit icon and click Advanced Settings.

Or by globally applying the Master Password reprompt when opening any Secure Note by checking the option in your LastPass Haqq-hesab Ayarları dialog:

Searching Secure Notes

If you wish to have the ability to search within your Secure Notes when searching for a term in your Vault, you can check this option in the LastPass Icon > Preferences > Advanced tab and select the ‘Search within secure notes’ option.

Note that this considerably slows down searching, due to the decryption process required.

Secure Notes History

You can review changes made to your secure notes by utilizing the new History function. To access this, go to your vault > hover the mouse pointer over the note entry > click edit icon .

If any changes have been made to the Secure Note, you can then select ‘History’ link on the Edit Window to review the changes.

Selecting ‘Show Note’ will show the Secure Note as it had appeared prior to the saved changes.

LastPass users can add documents, PDF files, and images as attachments to Secure Notes. If there are files that you want to keep that shouldn’t be stored unencrypted on your machine or that need to be portable, then LastPass is the place to back them up.

For example: Let’s say you’re traveling abroad. To prepare for the trip, store a photocopy of your passport as an attachment in LastPass. If your passport is lost or stolen, you can locate a computer, install and log in to LastPass, open the attachment, and print it. You now have a helpful resource for replacing your lost passport.

Storing an Attachment

Attachments can be added to new or existing Secure Notes by clicking the paperclip icon in the Edit dialog (clicking on the edit icon ), and locating the file on the device. Your attachments are then synced to any location where you log in to your account:

Like all stored data, attachments are locally encrypted and decrypted with a key that is never sent to LastPass, providing a secure storage option with the convenience of universal access.

Multiple Attachments

More than one attachment can be added to a single Secure Note. A single attachment can be up to 10MB.

Attachment Storage Limits

Currently, free users have up to 50 MB of encrypted file storage, and Premium users have up to 1GB encrypted file storage. The size limits are open to change.

Availability

For attachment support in Chrome, Safari and Opera, you will need an additional binary component.

Attachments are downloaded on demand so it takes sometime to download from LastPass server. If you see an error opening attachment when trying to open it the first time, close the error message popup and leave the Edit Window open for a few minutes and then retry. The max waiting time is 5 minutes but it should be less than 1 minute if your internet connection is strong and stable.

Please note: you cannot save an attachment to your machine/device unless you could open it first.

Limitations

Attachments cannot be opened from the Online Vault in a browser where LastPass is not installed. Currently, LastPass must ‘call’ the extension to be able to open the attachment, if LastPass is not installed you will see an error message indicating you should install the add-on.
